Former Maspeth church site becomes crap

A few years ago, the Maspeth United Methodist Church, depicted above, burned down.
It was a sad day, as it was an historic white clapboard church building, familiar to many who grew up in the neighborhood.
The congregation merged with the Glendale United Methodist Church and sold the property to a developer and this is the result. Thankfully, the rezoning of the area prevented 3-family shitboxes from being built. The resulting buildings are 2-family semi-detached, and it doesn't look like illegal basement apartments are in the unwritten plans.

They design them on computers to use the least amount of material, cuts and skilled labor needed.Almost everything is a 4X8, 4X4 and or with 90 degree cuts to puzzle every inch of scrap for use someplace else.

New architectural and atheistic approval laws are needed to keep up with this wave of nasty computer and eastern block barracks logic. Most politician's don't want to hear, speak or see a word of it !

Joe - yes it was probably one of the nicest streets in Queens. However, the Cemetery Caretaker's house was torn down and replaced with crap, and a bunch of 3-family homes was squeezed into an oversized lot a little further down the street. The street has been on the decline for several years.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
